https://www.teslaoracle.com/2020/09/25/tesla-4680-cell-analyzed-sandy-munro/ So this notes the 16% number which I guess goes back to battery day and the 4680 generally and not necessarily any boost from the dry tech. And in one of my original posted articles is the density is equal to Panasonic...

Sorry, I did do a quick search and didn’t see anything specific but my search-fu on here is probably weak. Any pointers to them would be appreciated. I could swear I read some articles that purported a 16% capacity boost, so a little surprised there is no benefit. So it’s strictly a yield and...

Hi all: It seems that the 4680 dry cathode battery is at least to prototype stage. https://www.techspot.com/news/104119-tesla-rolls-out-first-ever-cybertruck-dry-cathode.html...

Agreed. Cost wise it's impossible to disagree with you. For many use cases it will be cheaper per your analysis (assuming the app company stays in business long enough to make the math matter).

Cloud based services die every day. Enjoy your Zune music you paid for too...except you can't. Some people will own nothing and be happy. Others dont buy that bs. To each their own.

Internet goes down, you have nothing. Pass.

The problem is it’s a subscription and subscriptions are evil. I like to own my tech. The other problem is it’s cloud based and if the cloud is down I have to deal with that locally. All home equipment should work locally with no need of the cloud. It’s not a question of if it will fail, but...

I have banned Jalopnik and many other main stream feeds from all my feeds. It's a pleasure to silence them forever. Electrik also has Elon Derangement Syndrome and I've banned them too. Jalopnik died MANY years ago, even before elon/electric vehicles. All these sites went political and woke...

This is well done. But does not seem nearly as poised as a Raptor. Seems to be a touch nose heavy. Not sure if this is endemic to the truck, or just not the right amount of throttle off the jump?

More efficient could mean more range. By how much I wonder?

Of course yorue wrong, but simply cant accept that. The battery is approximately where I put it. And beyond that, of course a weight that far back from the center of gravity at the center of the car would have no effect on handling; there is no difference between rear mounted engine weights...

It's not horse shoes. And even if it was exactly the same, that it's a concentrated strip of weight that makes the handling completely different as the truck experiences lateral forces. Youre just wrong. Furthermore, if you look at a schematic and just even roughly sketch in the center of...

The more relevant question is how high above the center of gravity of the truck will the center of gravity of the THICK battery pack be, for starers. An and how does concentrating a great pendulum weight in a ~2'x2'x5' strip weighing say 1/4 the weight of the entire truck affect the center of...

The Center of gravity is not up above in the bed. That you would assert that shows how important, yet ineffective the 100’ example was. That you dint get that evinces you’re not at the right level to discuss this further.

Um no, that's not how physics works. If you put a 1000lbs weight 100' above the truck that is attached to the bottom of the chassis, that does NOT bring the center of gravity down. Also concentrating all that weight in a small area makes it more like a pendulum, which is why pendulums are made...

Physics disagrees with you on center of gravity wrt to the range extender. The sled is at the bottom of the vehicle bringing the center of gravity pretty low. The range extender sits probably around 2' higher. Plus concentrating a lot of weight in a singlular strip is not as good as distributing...

I"m not terribly concerned with visual outward tweaks. I kind of like the crazy design. I'm more concerned with bug fixes, refinements, but most importantly a long range model. We've seen lots of different interpolations of "long range" in various other models of Tesla. From bare bones rear...

I had to pass on my reservation because I just need more range for my use case, but still dearly want to get a cybertruck. So I put down for another deposit hoping in the next year or 2, we will get some upgrade for a truck with more range. Hopefully to the originally promised 500m range. Im...

Honestly, the type of people that hate it, makes me want to get one even more. I love making people like that go deeper into their personal hell. They’ve earned it. It feels like justice.

Thank you for the great review. I currently have a honda ridgeline and it's super comfy and great for road trips. The suspension is surprisingly compliant and good, almost baja racer like over rough roads, and the seats are near barcalounger comfy. I'm kind of bummed to hear the seats are not...
